Definition
BiLinks are usermade bidirectional links between internal or external Wikipages, using the pseudo-icon , as a shortcut for introducing a list of linked to and linked from wiki-pages.
The sign "" operates as 
WikiPragma, suggested as a universally available marker, here also named "Bilinks List Introducer".

Template:BiLinks Template Suggestion originally with chain icon 'OO', now simply better represented by ,
- The bilinked referrer pages can be external or internal pages to a wiki: The main purpose of bilinks is WeavingTheWeb, creating a higher immediately available, more comfortable link navigation for the user in both directions. Although most modern WikiEngines support listing of the wiki-internal referrer pages, it is often very practical (especially for new users) to have explicit wiki-internal BiLinks. In this paragraph a new use of inline bilinks is introduced.
- BiLinks is a generalization of TwinPage, which is a bidirectionally linked page to another page with the same name, characterized by the symbol , whereas bidirectionally linked pages with (not necessarily but preferably) different names, are characterized by the symbol as "Bilinks List Introducer".
- BiLinks help to overcome the LostInHyperspace "Lost In Hyperspace" http://images.aboutus.org/images/1/18/GoogleIcon.png "Lost In Hyperspace" "Lost In Hyperspace", "Lost In Cyberspace" http://images.aboutus.org/images/1/18/GoogleIcon.png "Lost In Cyberspace" "Lost In Cyberspace", LostInHyperspace, -effect.
- HTML linking is not normally necessary in wikis, although there are some wikis, that allow HTML: e.g. wikis in the WikiFarm [SeedWiki].
